It is actually a collaborative work between the listed artist, who painted the background, and Francis Hayman (link shows his Wikipedia page, collection), who painted the figure. The listed artist‘s Wikipedia page and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).

About That is Priceless

Tired of art snobs and their stuffy old museums? So was Steve Melcher, so he created That Is Priceless -- dedicated to taking art’s greatest masterpieces down a peg with irreverent new titles. You don’t have to be an art lover to appreciate Steve’s sticking it to the man on a regular basis – especially when that man is someone like Caravaggio, who when you look a little closer, was really kind of a jerk.
